This mayo is life. It is the best mayonnaise I’ve ever made. You’ll want to dip everything in it and it makes this simple and easy salad sing.
Say that title ten times fast. But it’s a super accurate description for these little handfuls of joy and I’m all about an accurate description. The moreish little chicken meatballs get covered in a sticky sauce and then stuffed into little bread rolls filled with fresh and pickled vegetables. The only kind of meatball sub I’m going to crave.
   This is summer. Eating things out of crisp lettuce leaves and having lovely light suppers in the sun. Maybe with a glass of something delicious in the other hand. Like sparkling water with fresh mint – yeah that’s definitely what I was dreaming about;)
These nuggets are a variation on my ‘superfood’ chicken schnitzel recipe. The crusts is a naturally golden mix of flaxmeal, oats, hemp and pepitas and it’s deliciously crispy and crunchy due to this mix of ingredients.
As many of you know I’m obsessed with hummus. But I hardly ever buy it as I’m so often disappointed by store bought hummus. If making it seems like too much effort for you I’ve included tips on how to choose a good quality hummus in this post. BUT, if you have a food processor and are using canned chickpeas making it is soooo easy.
I’m basically using the term ‘superfood’ in jest right now. What does it even mean anyway? I’m using it to mean ‘full of lots of extra goodness. Extra being the key word because this golden flaxmeal, pumpkin seed, hemp seed and steel cut oat crumb is definitely extra.
There’s a lot of things about these nachos that make them a healthier choice than the regular variety. Baked wholemeal tortilla chips (or corn if gf) rather than fried chips, the added green veggies and wholesome chicken thigh topping. There’s also a cheese sauce that’s the ish part because it makes the cheese go a long way and adds that gooey stretchiness you want in nachos, with about 1/2 the actual cheese. But still some cheese because, oh god, cheese will be the last animal product I give up if I ever actually go vegan.
These lightened up burritos can be made as pictured, a smaller wrap, or as a bigger more traditionally sized burrito – depending on how hungry you are. The mini burritos are also ideal for little hands if you’re cooking for kids!
I love baked chicken, it’s such a simple thing to throw in the oven and is easily accompanied by salad, slaw, steamed or roast vegetables. i’ve included a list of possible sides to have with this tender and flavoursome chicken below.
